Hi,

I have to code a CICS program which uses a VSAM file Say XFILE.
My requirement is like when the same file is used by a batch program when i try to update from CICS program, What would be the EIBRESP?

More clarification
1) Prog B (Batch) is using XFILE for updation
2) Prog C(CICS) tries to issue Read update for the same when prog B is using XFILE
3) what is the EIBRESP now?

I need this eibresp because I have to set 1 min delay after i get this Expected EIBRESP

Regards,
Vivek.T

You can't read/update the same file from a CICS program.

Unless your VSAM file is defined with Share Option 4,, see
your CICS systems programmer for more information.

OR
review some of the vendor software products available that permits concurrent updating. There is a new product from HostBridge Technology that provides ability to code COBOL batch programs to
communicate with any CICS resource (files, tdq's , tsq's, programs, transactions, etc.)
